Amazing work !!

The lyrics lift ths a cut above most vocalese. Nice voice quality too, a bit of Anita, a bit of Annie.  Very nice.

IDNEARTHESEA,

I appreciate your thinking of Tom Waits... As wonderful as he is, I have never thought of him as a voice jazz guy...not like I think of Jon Hendricks. I will need to do some research and hear some of Tom Waits voice jazz.

Thank You For Suggesting Waits,

Conchya in Seattle

What about Tom Waits? He did vocalese too!

Beautiful!  Simply BEAUTIFUL! No doubt that Moe would be pleased, proud and privileged to have his tune so honourably presented! Five...no, SIX stars!

[zavjo]
